Beauty stock list: What should always be in your purse

Beauty stock list essential: Highlighter

For quick touch ups on the fly, a pressed powder foundation can zap excess grease, improve skin tone and create flawless skin with minimal effort. “For those places that you don’t want shine, the formula of a pressed foundation won’t make you dry and cakey,” says Jones.

Beauty stock list essential: Mascara

Mascara is one of the most popular purse must-haves because it’s a big impact item, that doesn’t take up loads of space. Plus, it can be applied in a flash, even without a compact or mirror. “It’s the quickest way to pump up your eyes without messy eye makeup,” says Jones.CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara ($9.49), at mass-market retailers across Canada and covergirl.ca.GALLERY: The best mascaras of all time

Beauty stock list essential: Highlighter

Because you’ll always have a few late nights on the agenda, it can’t hurt to have a classic brightening pen in your purse to perk up tired eyes and get your skin glowing during your morning commute. “Use it to highlight the bones on your face and correct the dark circles under your eyes,” says Jones.Yves Saint Laurent Touché Éclat ($55), at Holt Renfrew, Hudson’s Bay and select Sephora and Murale retail locations.GALLERY: The 12 best makeup wipes

Beauty stock list essential: CC cream

Colour-correcting creams are fairly new to the beauty ball game, but have become instant miracle workers that help you maintain fresh skin in a rush. “It’s easier than foundation and you can layer it to get your skin looking perfect,” says Jones.Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer ($66), at Holt Renfrew, holtrenfrew.com.Skin care saviour: The new colour correcting creams

Beauty stock list essential: Ointment

Try throwing a healing ointment in your purse to treat rough patches and replenish your skin’s moisture barrier when you’re on the go. “It will soften and resurface your lips and dry skin on your face. Rub it really well into your face and then you can brush a mineral makeup on top to perfect your skin without over drying,” says Jones.

Beauty stock list essential: Tinted lip balm

A tinted balm can function as a lipstick and a hydrator when you’re pressed for time but are still looking for that surge of colour, moisture and shine. “When your lips are dry, lipstick won’t work. Tinted lip balm helps both dryness and colour,” says Jones.Korres Lip Butter Balm in Pomegranate ($16), at Sephora, sephora.ca.GALLERY: The best winter lip balms

Beauty stock list essential: Hand cream

“The great thing about a good hand cream is that it can double as a skin refresher. After you moisturize your hands, press what you have left over your skin or press it into your drying foundation to perk up your makeup,” says Jones. Hand cream also helps to condition a dry handshake when you arrive at a job interview in cold weather.Ahava Dermud Intensive Mineral Hand Cream ($32), at The Bay, Ogilvy, Sears and ahavaus.com.GALLERY: The best body butters

Beauty stock list essential: Eyelash curler

You may not have thought of this one, but for everyday beauty needs, having a dependable eyelash curler in your purse is key according to Jones. “Whether you use mascara or not, curling your lashes is very important,” says Jones. “Uncurled lashes are reducing the amount of light that comes into your eyes. The refection of light off your eyes makes them more beautiful and luminous.”Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler ($20), at shuuemura.ca.The best drugstore makeup and skincare finds

Beauty stock list essential: Cream blush

Think strategically and choose multipurpose products for your beauty stock list—like a cream blush that works seamlessly on both eyes and cheeks for glowing skin. “Cream blush puts colour in your cheeks and if you have the right colour you can use it on your eyes,” says Jones.Makeup Forever HD Microfinish Cream Blush ($31), at Sephora, sephora.ca.GALLERY: 50+ fall blushes to try

Amy Schumer may be playing Barbie

Amy Schumer is said in talks with Sony to play a live-action version of everybody's favourite doll. The actress is also said to be co-writing the script with her sister, Kim Caramele.

The premise: "a doll living in 'Barbieland' is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world. A live-action feature film based on the popular line of Barbie toys," according to IMDB.

We'd watch Amy in pretty much everything, but the nostalgia factor has us even more hooked. One more reason to look forward to 2017 – and to pick up our Barbies from our parents' house.

Frank + Oak and the NBA team up on Raptors merch

Canadian fashion label Frank + Oak is always up to something, and tomorrow the Montreal-based brand will drop a 9-piece Raptors collection in collaboration with the NBA. The pieces that make up the line are directional, minimal and best of all—unisex. The pieces include a crisp Oxford shirt patterned with a subtle team logo, a heather grey waffle knit mock-neck and a leather backpack. The coolest piece might be the two-tone pop-over shirt. The Oxford's mock-neck collar and mix of materials offer a completely new take on fan gear. Even fair-weather fans (hey, no judgement) will be tempted by this sleek collab.

The collection will launch tomorrow online and at Frank + Oak's Queen West and CF Sherway Gardens outposts as well as the Real Sports Apparel shop at the Air Canada Center. The brand is set to release merch for 5 more NBA teams in 2017. Until then, go Raptors, go!

Sofia Richie doesn't care that you think she's short

Sofia Richie doesn't care that you think she's short

In a new interview with Complex, Sofia Richie, daughter of music icon Lionel Richie, opens up about the challenges she has faced while working in the modelling industry. The 5-foot-6 model says she's often criticized because of her petite stature. "People obviously don’t respect some of the shoots I do because I’m short," she explained.

However the 18-year-old model she promises she doesn't let criticism faze her. "It’s not like I called and begged these designers to work with me," she says. "They felt my vibe and we were cool and that’s that. I really don’t let that stuff get to me."

Other highlights of the interview? Richie did not want to talk about Justin Bieber. Richie's publicist made it clear that "no questions" could be asked about the former fling. Sad face.

While the status of Sofia and Justin's romance remains unclear, one thing is certain. Right now Sofia is focusing on her career. "I'm super interested in having a fashion line which I am kind of working on, but I really love modelling because I get to be involved with clothes and designers. I get to hear them out and see what they're interested in. I'm kind of taking notes in the corner."
